Dec 07, 2009

PLYMOUTH, N.H. - One of the top players on the
Plymouth State University women's basketball team was recognized
Monday with weekly honors from the Little East Conference (LEC) and
the New England Women's Basketball Association (NEWBA).

Sophomore Alicia Doucet (Manchester, N.H./Central)
was selected to both the LEC and NEWBA Weekly Honor Rolls after
leading the Panthers to a 3-0 week. She has helped PSU match the
best start in school history with seven straight wins to open the
season.

A 5'11" forward, Doucet (right) averaged 19.0 points,
10.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists for PSU last week. She posted a
pair of double-doubles, recording 25 points and 15 rebounds in
Tuesday's 77-60 victory at Colby-Sawyer College and adding 10
points and 10 rebounds in a 67-66 LEC win Saturday over UMass
Dartmouth. Sandwiched in between was a 22-point,
seven-rebound performance in an 80-64 win over Salem State. Doucet
also contributed four steals and four blocked shots, helping PSU
remain undefeated on the season.

Doucet, who was named to the LEC All-Rookie Team last season,
begins this week ranked third in the Little East in scoring with
15.6 points per game, fourth in rebounding with 9.4 boards per
contest, and second in blocked shots (2.0 per outing). She is
also one of the top three-point shooters in the conference, making
10-of-28 from long range (35.7 percent).

The Panthers, 7-0, wrap up the semester this week with a pair of
home games, a non-conference affair Thursday against Lyndon State
College (5:30 p.m.) and a key LEC match-up Saturday against Eastern
Connecticut State University (1:00 p.m.)
